UAE is Middle East’s most ‘change-ready’ country

The UAE is the most change-ready country in the Middle East, and ranks globally No.5 in the KPMG 2015 Change Readiness Index (CRI) in terms of its enterprise capability, government capability and people and civil society capability. CRI is a key global index that ranks countries best equipped to respond to accelerating political, economic and social change. Based on a recent study by KPMG International and Oxford Economics, the index ranked 127 countries for their capacity to prepare for and respond to accelerating change brought about by natural disasters, economic and political shocks, demographics and new technologies. The index assesses countries’ change-readiness in three aspects: economic capabilities, governance capabilities and social capabilities.
